place Monday, with Prof VIM. j.
Kenny, as Principal The scholars
turned out in large numbers. and
the day was spent in organizing the
schools of this Independent District

to put such building as we have in as
inviting condition as possible; and
the arrangement of the Academy
was a grand surprise to the scholars.
Now that the schools have been
started on the right road, and we
hope that there will be no just cause
of complaint of their management.

The Northwest. published at Leola,
MCPHERSON county, calls attention to o
neglected, but important branch of ag-
ricnlture in this prairie country. This
is the Northwess's opinion:
One of the chief neg lects of the far
mers of Dakota is the Indifference mani
tested in the matter of planting, trees.
There is no other one thing of eq aal inn
portance. The idea that trees cannot
be grown has been exploded by the fact
that they are grown. Five acres Of
healthy, growing timber will add in q
few years 81 ,000pto the value OF any
quarter section of land.
Mcpherson county is one of the newer
counties of Dakota, where, the wilder
ness condition ID undss process OF sub
lugation. Tree culture is at
first difficult. II requires per-
severing effort In the end il
will win. That intelligent, well directed
effort will bring success is demonstrated
here In the old settled section OF Dakota,
where thrifty artificial forests dot the
prairies in all directions as far as the
eye can reach. The dozen counties in
the southeast corner OF Dakota were, a
few years ago, as barren OF timber as the
coteaus of McPherson are to-day, but
the hand Of man has supplied this one
deficiency of mature and the. change in
aspect and produetiveness is one OF the
marvels of western development. II

and there create artificial prairies upon
which to establish the farms OF the pro-
ducing GLASSES. Out OF the snccessiul
experiments OF this section our advice
to the newer sections Is to give heed to
the words OF the Leola Northwest,
Plant trees and make them grow. Ii
can be done. Ten years will accomplish
the task.
